5. Sizing
Shoe making is a craft and we always strive for the best possible fit. This is why we have 17 different UK sizes available for many of our men’s shoes. As we work with UK sizes, you find below an extensive table in which the English measurement, the foot length in centimetres and the corresponding European measurements are specified. This way you can easily measure your foot and determine which size you need for a perfect fit of a Floris van Bommel shoe.

In order to find a shoe that fits the width of your foot, we offer three different widths:
- G: For rather slender feet
- G ½: For regular feet
- H: For rather wide feet
In addition to the length and width, the type of shoe last also determines the fit of a shoe. You can see the width of a shoe on every product detail page. You can also filter your search by G width, G ½ width and H width so that you only get to see certain shoe widths. Every shoe is available in one width only. We work with numerous types of shoe lasts. The last also gives clues about how tapered the toe area is and what the height of the instep is going to be like. If you have more detailed questions on this, we recommend you get in touch with us via email or phone. This way, we can tend to your more specific questions. Lastly, the type of closure of a shoe is also important when it comes to the right fit. If you have a high instep for instance, a derby closure (with three lace holes) may be more suitable for you than a closure with five lace holes. In this case, we also recommend you to contact us directly. We are available via +31 (0) 13 51 36 940 on working days between 9 am and 5.30 pm.
Our belts are available in three different lengths: 95 cm, 105 cm and 115 cm. The length is measured all around while the belt is closed in the third hole. When measuring the entire length of the belt, you start from the buckle (at the end where the leather part begins) up to the third hole.
Of course! Our belts are specially made so that they can easily be shortened and worn in the third hole. This way, they have the perfect fit that matches your size. You can easily shorten the belt yourself or get a shoemaker to help you adjust it to the right length.
